B.

3.2 cm

C.

2.8 cm

D.

1.6 cm

Question 2

A glass hemisphere of radius 0.04 m and R.I. of the material 1.6 is placed centrally over a cross mark on a paper (i) with the flat face; (ii) with the curved face in contact with the paper. In each case the cross mark is viewed directly from above. The position of the images will be

[ISM Dhanbad 1994]

A.

(i) 0.04 m from the flat face; (ii) 0.025 m from the flat face

B.

(i) At the same position of the cross mark; (ii) 0.025 m below the flat face

C.

(i) 0.025 m from the flat face; (ii) 0.04 m from the flat face

D.

For both (i) and (ii) 0.025 m from the highest point of the hemisphere

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Question 3

A converging lens is used to form an image on a screen. When upper half of the lens is covered by an opaque screen 

A. Half the image will disappear
B. Complete image will be formed of same intensity
C. Half image will be formed of same intensity
D. Complete image will be formed of decreased intensity

SOLUTION

Solution : D

To form the complete image only two rays are to be passed through the lens. Moreover the total amount of light released by the object is not passing through the lens because of the covering. Therefore the intensity of the image will be reduced and the image formed will be faint, not sharp.

Question 4

A point object is placed at the center of a glass sphere of radius 6 cm and refractive index 1.5. The distance of the virtual image from the surface of the sphere is

A. cm
B. cm
C. cm
D. 12 cm

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Using refraction formula 1μ21R=1μ2v1u
in given case, medium (1) is glass and (2) is air
So gμa1R=gμav1u11.516=11.5v16
11.56=1v+1.560.5v=1v+14
1v=11214=212=16v=6 cm.

Question 5

Shown in the figure here is a convergent lens placed inside a cell filled with a liquid. The lens has focal length + 20 cm when in air and its material has refractive index 1.50. If the liquid has refractive index 1.60, the focal length of the system is       

A. + 80 cm
B. – 80 cm
C. – 24 cm
D. –100 cm

SOLUTION

Solution : D

1F=1f1+1f2+1f3

                  
1f1=(1.61)(1120)=0.620=3100          ...(i)
1f2=(1.51)(120120)=120          ...(ii) 
1f3=(1.61)(1201)=3100        ...(iii)  
 1F=3100+1203100F=100cm           

Question 6

A ray of light falls on a transparent sphere with centre at C as shown in figure. The ray emerges from the sphere parallel to line AB. The refractive index of the sphere is:

A. 2
B. 3
C. 32
D. 12

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Deviation by a aphere is 2(i -r)    Here, deviation δ=60=2(ir)
(or) ir=30
 r=i30=6030=30
μ=sin isin r=sin60sin 30=3
 

Question 7

A transparent cylinder has its right half polished so as to act as a mirror. A paraxial light ray is incident from left, that is parallel to principal axis, exits parallel to the incident ray as shown. The refractive index of the material of the cylinder is:


 

A. 1.2
B. 1.5
C. 1.8
D. 2.0

SOLUTION

Solution : D

For spherical surface using n2vn1u=n2n1R
n2R1=n1R ;  n=2n2n=2.
 

Question 8

Two identical glass (μg=32) equiconvex lenses of focal length f are kept in contact. The space between the two lenses is filled with water (μw=43) . The focal length of the combination is

A. f
B. f2
C. 4f3
D. 3f4

SOLUTION

Solution : D

Let R be the radius of curvature of each surface. Then 
1f=(1.51)(1R+1R)
 R=f
For the water lens
1f=(431)(1R1R)=13(2R)
or  1f=23R
Now using 1F=1f1+1f2+1f3 we have
1F=1f+1f+1f
=2f23f=43f   F=3f4

Question 9

A ray of light falls on the surface of a spherical glass paper weight making an angle α with the normal and is refracted in the medium at an angle β. The angle of deviation of the emergent ray from the direction of the incident ray is

A. (αβ)
B. 2(αβ)
C. (αβ)2
D. (α+β)

SOLUTION

Solution : B

From figure it is clear that ΔOBC is an isosceles triangle ,
Hence OCB=β and emergent angle is α
Also sum of two in terior angles = exterior angle
δ=(αβ)+(αβ)=2(αβ)

 

Question 10

Refraction takes place at a convex spherical boundary separating air-glass medium. For the image to be real, the object distance (μg=32)

A. Should be greater than two times the radius of curvature of the refracting surface
B. Should be greater than six times the radius of curvature of the refracting surface
C. Should be greater than the radius of curvature of the refracting surface
D. Is independent of the radius of curvature of the refracting surface

SOLUTION

Solution : A

Applying μ2vμ1u=μ2μ1R
1.5v1u=(1.5)1R
Dividing with 1.5 on both the sides.
or  1v+23u=13R
For v to be positive 13R>23u
or u>2R

Question 11

A. Water (n =1.33)
B. In a medium of n = 1.525
C. Carbon disulphide n =1.66
D. It cannot act as a divergent lens

SOLUTION

Solution : C

A lens shows opposite behaviour if μmedium>μlens .e., a convergent lens becomes divergent in nature

Question 12

Shown in the figure here is a convergent lens placed inside a cell filled with a liquid. The lens has focal length + 20 cm when in air and its material has refractive index 1.50. If the liquid has refractive index 1.60, the focal length of the system is

A. + 80 cm
B. - 80 cm
C. -24 cm
D. -100 cm 

SOLUTION

Solution : D

1F=1f1+1f2+1f3

1f1=(1.61)(1120)=0.620=3100...(i)1f2=(1.51)(120120)=120...(ii)1f3=(1.61)(1201)=3100....(iii)1F=3100+1203100F=100cm

Question 13

A hollow double concave lens is made of very thin transparent material.  It can be filled with air or either of two liquids L1 and L2 having refractive indices n1 and n2 respectively (n2>n1>1). The lens will diverge a parallel beam of light if it is filled with

A. Air and placed in air
B. Air and immersed in Li
C. L1 and immersed in L2    
D. L2 and immersed in L1

SOLUTION

Solution : D

1f=(n2n11)(1R11R2) where n2 and n1 are the refractive indices of the material of the lens and of the surroundings respectively. For a double concave lens,(1R11R2) is always negative.

Hence f is negative only when n2>n1

Question 14

There  is an equiconvex glass lens with radius of each face as R and aμg=32andaμw=43. If there is water in object space and air in image space, then the focal length is 

A. 2R
B. R
C. 3R2
D. R2

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Consider the refraction of the first surface i.e. refraction from rarer medium to denser medium
μ2μ1R=μ1u+μ2v1(32)(43)R=43+32v1v1=9R
Now consider the refraction at the second surface of the lens i.e. refraction from denser medium to rarer medium
132R=329R+1v2v2=(32)R
The image will be formed at a distance of 32R.This is equal to the focal length of the lens.
